GAS BURNER.

Application filed December 24,1921. Serial No. 524,582.

To all who-m it may concern.

Be it known. that we, llnwann G. il'nnarnn and lilnuninn (lrnmn z, (in, citizens of the United States, residing at ilrie, in the county of Erie and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and use ful 1m prorements in 'ITZLS Burners, of which the following is epoch. tic-ation.

pecially designed for cooking stoves, hot plates and the like where it desired to radiate heat upwardly. Stoves have been developed in which hollow radiants'have been used but such radiants have been so arranged as to radiate the heat in a general horizontal direction as is common with heating stoves as distinguished from an upward direction as is common with cooking stoves. VVith the present invention the radiants radiate the heat upwardly.

The invention is illustrated in the accon1 panying drawings as follows Fig. 1 shows a central section through the burner on the line 11 in Figs. 4 and 5.

Fig. 2 a plan view of a radiant.

Fig. 3 a side view of a radiant.

Fig. 4 a plan. view of the burner asscmbled. v

Fig. 5 a plan view of the burner with the radiants and retainer removed.

Fig. 6 a section on the line 66 in Fig. 1 showing the construction of the burner jets.

1 marks the burner chamber leading from the usual mixer (not shown), 2 the tips or caps for the burner jets forming chambers 3 extending upwardly from the burner chamber. the caps or tips having the top walls 4 through which the vertical slits 6 extend. These slits extend downwardly at 7 into the side walls of the caps thus forming lateral openings as well as upwardly extending openings through the slits. The character of the flame may be controlled by varying the relative thickness of the side and top wall.. In the present construction the top wall is made thicker than the side walls and consequently there is a slightly greater relative resistance through the slits upwardly than at the side by reason of which the flame is spread or given a fan-shape. The caps or tips- 2 are arranged in a cluster on the top of the burner, there being a phu ra-lity of these caps so that the slits may be in alinement. This simplifies the manufacture in that they may be cut with the same operation. of the machine.

he gas burner of this invention is es- 8 marks the retainer which as shown is formed in one piece forming a cluster of retainers for the different burner jets. These rest on the notched projections 9 and the notches 10 on the face of the burner. The retainers have the. openings 11 for introdi'zcing air for combustion through the walls if the retainer. o 1 1 The retainers have the annular shoulders 12 on which are placed the radiants 13. The radiants are preferably in the form 'of annular rings which have the inwardly extending projections 14 in the path of he flame. Tho'rings' have the projections 15 on one face-and dctents 16 on the opposite face by means of which the radiants are kept in register and the detents and projections are arranged to bring the projections ofone ring in staggered relation to the projections of the neXt ring. Preferably a plurality of these radiant rings'are placed iii-theretainer and a spider-shaped grid 17v is ar ranged over the' top of the ring-shaped radiants. the grid being of radiant material and having projections 18 corresponding to the projections-15 and so placed as to bring the arms of the grid in staggered relation with the projections 14. 19 represents a stove top. 7 r

In the operation the flame from the jets is carried through the radiants and they are heated to a glow which radiatesupwardly.

thus assuring a more perfectcombustion of the gases and at the same'time the added radiant heat effect.

What we claim as new is 1. In a burner. the combination of a burner jet; and a series of superimposed radiants above the jet said radiants being larger. horizontally than vertically and formed to seat with uniformity one upon another.

2. ln burner, the combination of a burner jet; and series of superimposed radiants above the jet said radiants being larger horizontally than vertically and formed to seat with uniformity one upon another and adapted to radiate upwardly.

. 3. in a burner jet; and a radiant above the jet. said radiant be' ngformed with an annular'ril) and inwardly extendin projections in'the path ofthe flame.

4. In a burner, the combination of a burne jet; and a series superimposed radi rr above the jet. saidradiants being formed with annular rings and inwardly extending projections and having; interloclo ing protuberances and indentures placed to stagger the nrojections. V

In a burner, the combination of a burner jet; a series of superimposed radiants above the jet, said radiants being larger horizontally than vertically and "formed to seat with uniformity one upon another; and an enclosing retaining wall for the radiants.

6. In a burner, the combination of a bin-nor jet; a radiant having an annular sur- -oundir.;z rib with inwardly extending por-v tions, said radiant being larger horizontally than vertically 'and subjected to the direct action of the flame to produce incandescence above the jet; and a grid superini posed on the radiant.

'4. In a burner, the combination of a burner jet; a radiant formerL with an annalar ring with inwardly extending projections; and grid above the radiant having arms staggered with relation to the projee tions.

S. in a burner, the combination of a jet; an annular radiant above the jet; a grid of radiant material on the radiant; and a re tainer around the radiant and grid, said radiant and grid being adapted to radiate U1} wardly. a

9. In a burner, the combination of a jet; 7

a radiant above the jet; a grid on the radiant; inwardly extending pro ectlons on the radiant; and interlocking protuberances and indentures on the grid and radiant positioning; the grid with relation to theradiant to stagger the grid relatively to the projections. Y r

10. A radiant for stoves having an annular ring and inwardly extending projections and having;- protuberances and indentures thereon adapted to interlock with an -adjarent radiant. 7

11.111 a burner, the combination oi' a burner chaniber; an upwardly extending cap: extending through the top, wall of the can below the lower surface of said top wall into the side walls of the cap forming lateral jet exit-s tor the cap; and an an; imlar radiant'above the cap adapted to radiate upwardly.

12. A burner havin a burner chamber; and a series of cars grouped around a center on the chamber, said caps having slits Mere/through, the slits on a plurality of cans being in parallel.

in a burner, the combination of a burner chamber; an upwardly extending can on the chamber; and slits extending downwardly into the can below the undersurtace of the top wall of the cap forming lateral jet exits from the cap, the top wall being thicker than the side wall to spread the flame. V n

In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our hands.
